What are the chances that our blog was released on both Christmas Day and New Years Day. Aren’t you all lucky!
Despite Ollie’s mum warning us not to leave the blog to the last minute on New Years Eve, we have done just that… We have some friends coming over and cocktails to make, so here is a round up of our fun in the snow this week!
We did jump in the sea very briefly on Christmas morning, Hannah tried to take a video but Thom ruined it, so we have these before and after pictures instead. It was pretty cold!
We both had the rest of the week off and have been out in the snow most days, including:
- Snowshoeing on the trails at the Cypress ski resort
- Walking to Norvan falls to see how frozen it was after a particularly cold snap
- Some bird watching in Stanley Park (Stefan, we think we found one…)
- Sledding near the beach
2021 has been another strange one but we are extremely lucky to have spent it in beautiful British Columbia with new friends (and some old ones). We are looking forward to whatever 2022 brings, except more plagues… done with that now.
Happy new year everyone!

Happy New Year! We also have enjoyed all the blogs over the time you’ve been in Canada – The snow looks amazing! Phil is particularly impressed with the ice-climbing up the frozen waterfall! Was that Ollie climbing up or someone else? I’m sure Stefan will tell us what that duck is…I’m presuming it isn’t one you’ve seen so far?

I forgot to mention that in the main text! It wasn’t Ollie, there were just two guys starting to climb when we arrived. I got one of their numbers so I could send them the photos and they were very pleased! I do think Ollie would like to be able to do that eventually.

The chances are one in seven!
I don’t do weekly communication, so congratulations on keeping me coming back almost every week for two years.
Wilderness wandering by proxy.
There you are, I knew you were destined to see a Wood Duck. Ridicously flamboyant West coast American. (what a dull name).
Don’t mention Nannamum’s Mountie.

I almost walked straight past it, Ollie spotted it and said “isn’t that the bird Stefan is always going on about?”
Still not seen a proper mountie… not sure I’ve even seen a regular police officer now I’m thinking about it
